TABUELAN, Cebu—The third and last day of Lumba’g Laag sa Sugbo 2019 brought in a balance of challenges including making a bibingka (rice cake) and rappeling down a bridge to get the next clue.
The race ended on Sunday, June 23.
Here’s a recap of Day 3 in pictures:
The day started at the San Remigio Public Beach where two tasks were completed: cup stack and fill me in.
For cup stack, racers had to form a pyramid with the cups using only their feet.
Participants also had to fill in a holed bamboo to get their next task.
